Week 8 (w/c 18 May 2020)

This week we have seen the mileage remain pretty much the same as the weeks previous with 821.9 Harrier miles however elevation has spiked at 42,294 ft helped by the weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 Challenge. This is the highest elevation gain to date, beating last week’s record of 35,050 ft, I wonder if we can make it 3 weeks on the bounce?

Distance Challenge

Clocking an extra mile than normal to ensure that he’s not beaten by any late Sunday entries, Mr 60, Tom, tops the table once more in the distance challenge earning maximum 25 points for running 61.7 miles. With less than 3 miles between them, James claims second place with 59.2 miles and in third place, Georgette, with her longest distance clocked to date of 53.8 miles.

Elevation Gain Challenge

Having a fantastic week, Georgette tops the leader board in elevation gain with an impressive 3,228 ft gained by 5 entries into the 2, 4, 6, 8 Challenge. Leo takes second place with 3,147 ft however with no entries into the 2, 4, 6, 8 Challenge, I suspect many additional points could have been awarded! And, making this a ladies week this week, Liz takes third place with an impressive 3,125 ft and another 5 entries into the 2, 4, 6, 8 Challenge.

Wildcard Challenge

In a time of uncertainly, the aptly named challenge caught the eyes of many but none more than our Co-captain, Adrian, who earned the nutjob bonus of 10 points for the highest single height gain run securing his first place win on the Wildcard leader board saving his highest entries until later in the week. Making an appearance in all challenges this week, completing a midweek 8 point entry and travelling some distance to get it, Georgette has her eyes on the prize taking second place. Finally, with another 5 entries, Liz takes her second third place for the week saving her 8 point entry to the final day with an impressive 3 Thursday night Blenheim loops which is arguably tougher than Woodstock 12 – Kudos Liz!

Week 4 results

Taking the win this week is Georgette with nearly a 10 point lead over second place Liz, closely followed by Adrian.

First place – Georgette with 77points

Second place – Liz with 68 points

Third place – Adrian with 66 points

Week 7 (w/c 11 May 2020)

This week’s challenge saw the largest mileage run and biggest height gain since the Corona challenge series started. The club ran an amazing 852miles (up 122 miles) and 35,050 ft (up 2954 ft).

It would seem Harriers like to run off-road with 85 miles clocked in the “Tarmac is Lava” challenge.

On a personal note the Tarmac is Lava challenge was definitely one of my favourite challenges so far. After way too many minutes building a route* with the idea to run as many miles off road as possible along paths and trails I have never touched before. Now I’m not a fan of running in the wrong direction and also not a fan of running with a phone and the trusty Garmin 235 came into play and I was able to drop a route on it and explore without risk of stopping every few minutes or turning it into a run of epic proportions by getting lost. With trusty technology (sorry old school Harriers) I managed to log 15 miles on the challenge with a route from Freeland to Finstock followed very closely by Liz O’Farrell’s 13.19 miler from Woodstock to Steeple Barton route and Georgette’s 12.45 miler from Combe to Finstock.

*Hopefully this is still true now as Strava has just changed the free account options but for those that don’t know, a fairly hidden function on the website is to build a route https://www.strava.com/routes/new

Strava knows a lot about you and your fellow 40 million runners logging their routes and in the settings you will find a heatmap that overlays every path & trail that runners have run and logged in Strava. Maybe this is known but I encourage people to take a look if this is new to you as you will, I expect, find a few surprises in your local area.

Anyway to the distance challenge this week and Ralf was back on top with an impressive 60.4 miles after a late night run to beat Tom Prescott in second place with 60.2. James Bolton logged an equally impressive 58 miles and in these non-race times its great to see the Harriers tuned for the return. That or there is a lot of anger issues that can only be solved by a long run!

Not un-expectedly Ralf also claimed the Height gain Challenge with 3616ft to Tom’s 2592ft proving again that Combe really is the place to be if you like your hills. Bringing up 3rd position was Hans with his equally impressive 2513ft. Overall 15 Harriers got over 1000ft height gain logged during their runs last week with Kevin Pritchett & Cyrus Mower definitely trending upwards.

This week just 4 effort sessions were logged which are easy points for everyone, not as much as last week’s Ross Barkley’s effort but more than usual. Got to be honest it’s hard to do efforts when the sun is out as nothing beats a good run in the sun. Maybe Harriers appreciate efforts when it’s cold, windy and grim in the park but I expect it’s the competition of fellow team mates that gets it done.

When you total the points this week you find:

1st Place Ralf with 69 Points

Joint 2nd place with Liz O’Farrell and myself (Adrian) with 66 points

3rd Georgette with 60 points

As with anything running related it’s the consistency that counts. Just a week off will mean you will tumble out of the top 10 meaning that’s its easy for others to climb into a top 10 position. Special credit to the “3 person” team Sophie!

Week 6 (w/c 4 May 2020)

Both distance and elevation gain have increased this week with the club running 730.4 miles and 32,096ft.

7 Harriers took on the Ross Barkley Challenge and with the numbers cranked through the age graded scoring calculator we officially have a World Class runner amongst us.

**drum roll please**

Our Chairman, NEIL PREDDY

Not only did Neil beat Ross’s time but he also scored 99.13% for his efforts in the age graded scoring. Anything over 90% is world class so this really is spectacular! Neil is also the only club runner to have achieved World Class status.

Well done Neil 😊

Now, I should also mention that James would have no doubt achieved this status had he ran it as intervals, or in fact ran the 0.1 mile the same pace as his 3 miles. To run it in one go and only be 0.37% off world class status is still super impressive but shows every effort counts!

Topping the table once more in the distance challenge is Mr Consistent, Tom pulling another 60 mile week out of the bag! In a close second and coming out of the woodwork since these challenges have been set is Hans with 56.1 miles, even more closely followed by James with 54.6 miles.

For the first time since the challenges began Ralf doesn’t appear on the podium for the elevation gain challenge being knocked into 4th place by Tom who has the double win for the week climbing an impressive 3,110ft followed by Steve Frear in second place with 2,554ft and Hans with an extremely close 3rd place with 2,523ft.

The wildcard challenge was only taken up by 3 people this week so there were some high points up for grabs if even 1 picture was added. Winning this week with a ridiculous 157 signs on the Hunn Run (who knew!) was my Co-Cap and fellow challenge setter, Adrian Smith, followed by my Pub Tour with 88 signs and Georgette’s trot around the Capital picking up 66 signs in 6.6 miles.

Leader board this week is as follows:

1st Place: Lucy with 62 points

2nd Place: Georgette with 55 points

3rd Place: Tom Preskett with 50 points

Georgette is also joint first place in the overall table along with Tom. Myself and Ralf are in joint second with Adrian in third. There are still 2 more weeks left of challenges so its all to play for! Both James and Liz are only 1 point off third place.

It just shows that entering all challenges gets you up there when you are a mid pack runner like myself. As the saying goes, you have to be in it to win it so, don’t forget to link your Strava to the WhatsApp group for the wildcard challenge entry and also for the effort sessions.

The wildcard challenge this week “Tarmac is lava” is all about being off road so avoid pavements and roads where possible and enjoy the countryside trails, footpaths and bridleways. A solely off road route may not be possible so if you have to incorporate roads, deduct the tarmac mileage and put the distance in the WhatsApp message as you link it. You don’t have to change the route on Strava however you can if you wish! We are not expecting exact tarmac measurement, best guess is fine. According to Adrian there is circa 1 mile of road in the Hunn run (crossing roads is fine, running along them needs deducting) 0.5 to the course and 0.5 off the course so this will be a 9.5 mile entry. Not bad; particularly if you are able to extend it off road….Hopefully we see a few entries!

And of course there are extra points up for grabs for the completion of an effort session.

Week 5 (w/c 27 April 2020)

Another week in lockdown brings a new start to the Harrier Corona Challenge for this month.

The numbers have been cranked, the challenges judged and for those of you that have lost track of time we are on Month 2 – Week 1 and the challenge has therefore been reset for another month.

This week we picked up on the 2.6 challenge https://www.twopointsixchallenge.co.uk as the London marathon had been postponed. As many of you know the London marathon has become heavily charity focused in recent years and these charities need the help. Thanks to Sarah Kerswell for the reminder and if you did achieve something worthwhile from this challenge, then please support their Just Giving page. It seems it’s close to £10 million as of Monday the 4th. Details can be found in the above link.

I think this was one of the easiest challenges to judge because Richard Arthur spectacularly rose to the challenge and pushed himself beyond what he had ever ran before with an amazing 26km run.

As some of you remember Richard started with the beginner program last year and has seen an amazing journey. Well done Richard, this is a real credit to yourself, full of grit and determination.

I am hoping we will come out of lockdown before you’re able to complete the marathon challenge we have set for month 3 😉

Next up was Liz O’Farrell – 26 x 0.5 on that stretch of the park takes some mental fortitude. Many hearts have been broken on this stretch of the park where the club runs the tail end of the effort sessions. This would definitely not be my favourite stretch to do 26 reps on so great effort.

Finally, Susan Haines with her triple 2.6 challenge. Distance 2.6, time 26 min, ran 26 times between goal post. In the words of Neil “the triple 26 was really creative and to land on 26min took some pacing.”

Thanks again to Neil for judging this week’s entries.

Winning the distance challenge this week was Tom Preskett. It’s now the 4th week that Tom has banged out 60 miles and above. That is some consistency in these times, all credit to the mileage and looking forward to whatever marathon or Ultra Tom will be doing when he is out.

Ralf once again gets the height gain challenge. I thought I played a winning strategy by going for 2 hills at Eastend and 6 on Wilcox (Hillzakilla) for my 2.6 challenge but his consistency over most days paid off in the end. Ralf is the one to watch if you like your hills and is pushing well into 3000ft range per week. Hopefully this training will pay off if we are allowed to race in Scotland in September.

And so it comes to this week’s winners

1st– Liz O’Farrell

2nd– Ralf Arneil

3rd– Richard Arthur

The King has been knocked off the top spot to be replaced by this week’s Corona Queen Liz. Great effort all with the 675 mile run and 29,678 ft climbed.

As a side note, it really does make a difference to the points if you attempt the 3rdchallenge and/or bonus challenges/efforts. Those who log the challenges and share them in our WhatsApp accumulate points even if they are a mid-pack runner life myself. The spirit of the harrier Corona should always be a bit of fun and inclusive for all, so don’t forget to share them before the weekend is out.

With that in mind I am really looking forward to seeing the attempts for the Ross Barkley 5k effort bonus. Thank you to Sonnie for the idea. Effort sessions usually get a good turn out on a Tuesday (ok not in winter when its dark, raining and grim) and for science I’m interested what the best can do and how far the Harriers are away from Elite footballers pretending to be runners.

Lastly the 3rd challenge – Sign of the times. You would have seen the challenge go out over Strava but in the spirit of being inclusive we have opened that up to also include any sort of signs and not just road names. Not everyone is living in a town/village/city as some of you are at your happiest running on trails. Whatever is good with you do it, as long as you run. Maybe use it as a fartlek session between signs.

Week 4 (w/c 20 April 2020 – end of Month 1)

This week we have covered 669.9 miles as a club and climbed 31,258 ft which is higher than Mount Everest! – Well done team.

Week 4 has brought April to a close with Ralf winning the first case of Corona. A BIG congratulations to Ralf who this month alone (to 27 April) has ran over 170 miles and climbed a massive 18,628ft.

Week 4 in summary

Ralf once again won the week with a total of 73 points, only losing out on maximum points for the distance challenge which was won by James with a total of 61.9 miles for the week which has been James highest mileage since lockdown!

Ralf “Mr Hills” Arneil, topped the elevation challenge with 3,469ft which was 676ft more than our second place, Torstein. In third place was me (Lucy) with 2,784ft, most of which was gained during my 26 Challenge….which, although completed on the official date was a week too early for club points. More on that to come!

The wildcard challenge this week was all about consistent pacing, favouring the more flatter routes. With only 3 seconds difference between the 4 mile splits Ralf blitz the win, followed closely by Kevin Pritchett with 5 seconds difference.

Special mention this week goes to James who has topped the week in his age category in the CoeVett-10 Virtual Race Series running 2 miles in an impressive 10m 21s. David Watkinson also entered the race, completing it in 12m 43s which clinched 4th place in V50 category. Well done to both!

Week 3 (w/c 13 April 2020)

This week has seen the club run 695.2 miles with over 39,000ft elevation gain.

Week 3 was all about elevation. As well as the usual total distance and total elevation, bonus points were available for all runs 600ft and over. With 5 points awarded for each run achieving over 600ft elevation gain there was a total of 35 points up for grabs!

With over 39,000ft climbed by the club (12,000ft higher than the week previous), everyone appeared to be putting in maximum effort. Ralf topped the table with a staggering 4,384ft elevation gain which was an impressive 1,335ft more than second place, who was Torstein with a more than respectable 3,049ft; closely followed by Tom Preskett with 2,992ft.

Ralf not only topped the total elevation challenge for the week but also earned the highest amount of bonus points with 20 points being awarded for completing 4 runs over 600ft. Adrian was hot on his heals with 3 runs earning 15 points and Tom, Lucy and Jonny all picking up 10 points with 2 runs each.

Tom earned maximum points for the distance challenging completing a resounding 60 miles. Adam Smith took second place with 45.3 miles and third place was taken by Ralf, who is fast becoming our most competitive member 🙂 with an incredible 39.2 miles.

Week 2 (w/c 6 April 2020)

Results following week 2 challenges:

5km time

Weekly mileage (distance)

Height gain (in feet)

This week has seen the club run 648 miles and climbed 27,811 feet.

Ralf, Tom and James continue to battle it out for top spot with Tom taking full points with 60.1 miles against 55 for James and Ralf’s 36.7. On the height gain side Ralf got out on a late run Sunday with a little over 900ft to take his total to 3,237 to take top spot against Tom’s 2,940 ft. Our man for Norway Torstein coming 3rd with 2,498 ft.

On this weeks 3rd challenge of “fastest 5k”, I can for sure say that I’m far away from a fast 5k, with a 60m drop over 5k, it should have been enough to take a good spot but alas the heat (well that’s my excuse anyway) turned it into a fartlek session where my sub 7/mi run set on moving pace was actually not great when you take into account the elapsed time! David Watkinson went for it with a time of 20:38. Notable run of the week for 2nd position goes to Jonny Jeffery who managed his fast time with a buggy round the small lake and 3rd was 5k specialist Jason Barry who came in with a respectable time during his lunch run.
